Discover the Bordeaux vineyard!

Explore the vineyards in a side-car

The adventure begins just outside your hotel or in front of the Bordeaux Tourist Office.

Two stopovers are planned during each trip: for the tours in the Médoc and in the Graves, you will visit two Chateaux classés and enjoy a tasting session at the end. The third tour, in Saint Emilion, includes a visit/tasting as well as a tour of the medieval village.
